AUTOISTS MUST OBEY `STOP' SIGNS WHEN UP Legislation establishing all Provin- cial highways as "stop streets" will go into effect in Ontario within the next week, The necessary proclamation is ready, and will likely be published in The Gazette of next Saturday. No special date for launching the new motoring regulation will be set. The Depertment of Highways has pre- pared 5,000 ,"sto,p" signs, which will be enected throughout the country as rapidly as possible. As these signs are located, the • motoring public will have to recognize therm Intersections of highways and county roads will be first cared for. Junctions of township roads and highways will next be look- ed after. The neW system aims at reducing motor accidents in the country to the minimum. It requires, in fact, all ve- hicles to come to a dead stop before crossing a Provincial highway.
